The California legislature already has plans to pass laws requiring all aircraft operating in California airspace to employ sails for propulsion, thereby using 100% renewable energy sources and eliminating their CO2 emissions.
I cans ell you wind-powered airplanes (see that propeller at the front?) that should meet renewable energy mandates.
Your children will have Putin corner in schools, and will be told stories of how Putin in nation's protective father, meanwhile there will be bread lines and coupons for your monthly soap rations.
No matter what you think, we won't end up with people working less and living better. We will end up with 1% exclusively benefiting from all the increases in productivity and 99% getting hit by even higher unemployment because even conspicuous consumption by 1% has a limit.
No, Ottoman empire converted to Islam and redirected all their energy into studying Koran. Their technology suffered as a result, yet they managed to keep going on inertia for many hundred years.
If US redirects all energy into studying Bible, then the same thing going to happen here.
This absolutely should not be a consideration, almost everything these days has microcode and there is no way for a repair shop to determine what it is. Apple also can't be trusted on this, as they will obviously claim that anything they didn't make is in violation. This is clearly an issue with Apple, that manufactures in China, and Chinese knock-offs or unauthorized production runs. With Apple unwilling/unable to resolve this problem in China, it shouldn't be possible for them to attempt to resolve it by going after repair shops.
I didn't say I agree with it. I am just the messenger. Don't shoot me.
Please, we live in the age of unrestrained and unchecked outrage, the entire thing is your fault, you monster!
Yes, a third-party part cannot contain Apple logos, but seeing this a screen, how do you think is that relevant?
Because that screen has chips with microcode owned/copyrighted/patented by Apple installed on it.

A third party replacement screen could still be counterfeit if it tries to pass itself off as an officially branded product. I don't believe that to be the case here, but it's certainly possible.

What is a counterfeit screen? Something that made look like a screen, but doesn't actually works? If not that, then it is third-party replacement screen, and Apple has no business telling anyone what parts to use.
I am glad Mr. Trump is fulfilling his election promise to drain the swamp by going after Amazon. The national nightmare of independent media critically covering the office of The President of the United State is soon to be over. Washington Post and Bezos will soon regret foolishly exercising the freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
Nice, I can finally upgrade my lava lamp entropy source to a quantum source that uses laser light on a crystal. Why? Because/dev/urandom is for peasants.
Your argument falls apart at "You can opt out". The issue with FB is that they not only track you when you visit www.facebook.com, but also across many, many other websites and they not only record your ip address and so on, but they also correlate that to private information they have on you.
Ted Stevens, is that you posting from beyond the grave? Because comparing digital tracking FB does to a publicly-listed PSTN number is rather flawed comparison.
A better comparison would be a third party wiretapping your phone, creating a list of everyone you calling to, then selling such list for profit.
I don't understand why they left him off the hook so easily on this point. They could never collect consent from someone that didn't sign up for FB, so how is data collection could be legal?
I think you grossly understating your second point. It isn't solely about stigma of playing games or even playing specific game. It is about producing more data that could be aggregated to create very precise profiles. As Cambridge Analytica showed us, you can scrape a lot of data from multiple sources and then produce a devastatingly effective spear-phising like manipulation. This is what highly undesirable outcome of leaking everyone's data.
Additionally, post gamergate every gamer should be cautious about privacy. We largely beat "moral police" back, but they will inevitably come back for the round 2. You have seen their methods - they dox, they try to get people fired, they use social media lynch mobs. I don't think it is that far-fetched to see these people producing public lists of "communist sympathizers" based on people playing specific title they disapprove of.
What is your real life name? How much do you make? Do you have a side thing going on every Thursday that your spouse doesn't know about?
You would be outraged if I knew these things about you, and rightfully so. It is called privacy, and it is crucial for social cohesion. Right now we have privacy by obscurity, the data is largely there but unless you unlucky to land in the spotlight it won't be looked at. However, this could easily change, as latest FB scandal showed us.
You have to remember where most of these engineers are located. This isn't some fly-over state in the middle of Trump country. This is right in the middle of Silicon Valley. It is very likely that every HR person there is on the SJW spectrum and politically well left of Che.
Considering HQ is in Silicon Valley, it is likely anti-Trump activists, and not newly found moral fortitude or rediscovered respect for privacy that motivates these engineers.
In Silicon Valley, being the most SJW-infested place on Eath, anything that touches Trump is toxic. When FB is now seen as being directly responsible for the election of Trump, these people found themselves in danger of "never work in this town" by association. They are probably better off putting prison time on their resume that admitting they worked on FB.

fucking disgusting how pro-corporate, pro-cia, pro-pentagon everyone seems to be
Have Comrade Putin confiscated your cheese recently?

Does this mean all the other countries of the world can start stealing their intellectual property soon? It's been a bit one sided so far...
What do you mean start? I have been pirating Maoist porn at least since cultural revolution.

A think we need to update Drake equation and add a parameter for crypto mining.

Why be happy that they won this case?
Because Apple outsources manufacturing to China. They deserve all the consequences and cheap knock-offs.

By the report's definition, probably everyone on /. is a "victim".
Sorry, you are not allowed to be a victim on ./ unless you join a professional victim union.
In other news - Tesla autopilot can't handle 6 seconds of autonomous driving on a clear day on a clear highway without causing fatal wreck.

Stop ruining firefox.
Stop ruining, as in you already successfully ruined it, any further efforts to foul it up are redundant.
